Pussy Riot for a good change YO YO Honey Singh ???????

Pussy Riot is a Russian feminist punk rock band based in Moscow. It is founded in August 2011 it consist of 11 women from age 20 to 33 years. These women wear colorful mask on their faces. The uniform of  bright dresses and balaclavas, which makes them both memorable and anonymous; the terse, splenetic punk racket; the unlicensed occupation of public spaces for their performances, and their subsequent dissemination on social media.
          The controversy of Pussy Riot singer was that the lyric which they used in the song was objected by the church. They performs done in the church was not accept by the church authority, three of the singer were arrested due making such lyrics. The song was ‘Punk Player’   the English translation of the song is
  Virgin birth-giver of God, drive away Putin!
Drive away Putin, drive away Putin!

Black frock, golden epaulettes
Parishioners crawl bowing [toward the priest, during the Eucharist]
Freedom's ghost [has gone to] heaven
A gay-pride parade [has been] sent to Siberia in shackles

Their chief saint is the head of the KGB
He leads a convoy of protestors to jail
So as not to insult the Holiest One
Woman should bear children and love
Shit, shit, the Lord's shit!

Shit, shit, the Lord's shit!
The punk prayer lyrics highlighted, even exacerbate, deep-rooted divisions in Russian society over faith, the exercise of personal freedoms, and the concept of justice. Acts of desecration of church property began multiplying shortly after the band members' sentencing, with the result that the State Duma, with the Church's support, is pushing for legislation that would criminalize blasphemy. 
           The same controversy happened with the famous rapper Honey Singh. The controversial lyrics of his song was  
Loose translation of this in English would be:
Come let me f**k you,
Let me get lust off your head
Let me beat you up with my shoes after f**king u
Let me come in your mouth
 
After the Delhi rape cases were people are fight for a change in the society such vulgar lyrics make us think that what are we doing is useless. But more significantly, I want to know why this is coming up today. Indian kids have been grooving to songs like “Ch**t” (“Cu*t”) for years. Did it take a woman being raped, beaten and partially disemboweled to wake up these kids, many of whom are protesting the attitude of millions upon millions of people who think about as much of a woman as the title of that song? Did anyone ever think that nearly seven years of that message seeping into the ears of the people, especially men who harass women, was doing slow damage on its own?  
          Is this is our young India? We talk about the freedom of expression. Then why a woman does not have a freedom to having sex or playing around as men does. Then the women is named as b***h or character less or French lover……
